Bathroom Cleaning Tips
Bathrooms are quick to clean when you let the products do the work.
A Fresh Bathroom Without The Scrubbing
Moisture is what makes bathrooms hard work. Soap scum, hard water and mildew build up wherever water sits, so the routine is simple: spray, wait, wipe and keep things dry.
A Routine That Works
Spray First
Apply cleaner to the shower, tub, sink and toilet before doing anything else, and let it sit while you clear the counters.
Shower And Tub
Scrub from the top down and rinse well. A squeegee after each shower prevents most soap scum from forming.
Toilet
Clean the bowl with a brush, then wipe the handle, seat, lid, base and the floor around it with a cloth used only for the toilet.
Sink And Counters
Wipe the faucet, handles and basin, and clean around the base of the tap where grime hides.
Mirrors
Use glass cleaner and a dry lint-free cloth, wiping in one direction to avoid streaks.
Floor
Sweep or vacuum hair and dust first, then mop from the far corner to the door.
Stay Safe
A few rules worth repeating:
- Never mix cleaning products, especially bleach with ammonia or acids
- Follow the directions on every product label
- Run the fan or open a window while you clean
- Wear gloves
- Keep products out of reach of children and pets
